Contact Us TodayFor Atlanta bakeries, snack manufacturers, and co-packers, gluten-free certification is increasingly a retail listing requirement rather than a nice-to-have — regional and national grocery buyers routinely ask for GFCO or equivalent third-party certification before stocking a gluten-free SKU. The certification challenge in shared facilities is cross-contact control: validated changeovers, segregated ingredient storage, and a testing program that demonstrates finished product consistently below 20 ppm gluten.
Yes, if cross-contact risk is controlled and verified. Certifiers like GFCO accept shared equipment when you validate cleaning between runs (visual inspection plus gluten swab or rinse testing), schedule gluten-free runs first after full sanitation, and test finished lots. We design and document that program end to end.
A written testing program using validated methods — typically R5 ELISA — covering ingredients at risk, environmental or equipment surfaces after changeover, and finished product, with all results at or below the 20 ppm threshold. Frequency depends on your risk assessment, which we build with you.
Certification under recognized gluten-free programs (GFCO, BeyondCeliac/CSA in Canada), focused on cross-contact controls, ingredient verification, and validated testing.
4 to 10 weeks of preparation prior to third-party gluten-free certification audit.
